Nate McMillan said it to the media 105 minutes before the game, and repeated it for his players in the locker room.
Don't get bored with winning.
It's human nature for success to induce an overload of assumption that brings failure. For the Pacers, a seven-game win streak was enough to do the trick. Their 92-91 loss to a downtrodden Cleveland team at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Tuesday brought an abrupt halt to their longest win streak in nearly two years.
Whether it reignites their effort and focus when they play at Toronto on Wednesday remains to be seen.
